“I've known Mark since December 2021 when I engaged his services to help with exploring new opportunities. While such an effort has many aspects to it, the one key aspect where I felt Mark's guidance was outstanding was resume building and the organization of information to demonstrate a unique, personal brand through a cohesive and cogent collation of information that could be presented as and when required. The unique tools and documents that he has developed over the years allow one to organize and present their key skills and competencies with clarity and precision which is great strength in situations where key personal attributes and competencies have to be pithily articulated as they relate to a role. Additionally, Mark's many years of experience are a great asset which he uses effectively to share information and provide nuanced insights on career building.”

🎯Job seeking is tough right now. It's tough for job seekers and it's tough for employers. 🎯That's compounded by some of the lowest employee engagement rates we've ever seen. 🎯And guess what? Interviewing a candidate any more than 3 times has been shown to be ineffective. Drop me a note to find out how we can help eliminate the guesswork in hiring, expedite the hiring process, increase employee retention and increase employee productivity (oh, and actually have happier employees).
